I am restoring a 78 SE with the gold dash bezel. First question has to do with the square opening around the wiper switch. The car came with a bezel, but either the switch is incorrect, or the bezel is incorrect. The car has pulse wipers and has the two buttons on the switch. It has the wash button and it has the slider that has the words OFF-PULSE-LO HI. When the bezel is installed, the W on the word WASH and the I on the word HI are covered. It looks like the square opening is too small. All of the dash bezels I see on ebay say they will fit years 70-81, but something isn't quite right about how mine looks so I was wondering if there was a difference in the bezels with regard to this wiper switch opening. Can someone that has an original 78 measure the square opening for me and maybe take a picture so I can see what it should look like?
Also, if anyone has a bezel that they want to sell that is in restorable condition (not broken, pitted, rusted, bent, etc....just needs cleaning and/or recoloring) please let me know.
